Patient's question:
My baby is already 108 days old, but I've noticed some diarrhea. Should I take them to the hospital for treatment? What kind of treatment can ensure a complete recovery?Doctor's answer:
Consider the possibility of a relationship with dyspeptic diarrhea or enteritis. Further laboratory tests on the stool are needed for a definitive diagnosis. For an 108-day-old baby with loose stools, green foam, active bowel sounds, and generally poor spirits, it is often considered dyspepsia, commonly associated with cold and viral infections. It is recommended to take probiotics orally for regulation, increase fluid intake, and observe the baby's condition. If the baby's spirits worsen or refuses to feed, it is advisable to seek medical attention for intravenous fluid treatment to prevent electrolyte imbalance.
